      I hate this future. Even when we get cool tech it’s thoroughly tainted by privacy issues and advertisement.

        I installed Tekken on the PlayStation a few days ago and they had 4 separate screens of privacy notifications and terms of service. Each one must have been 60 fucking pages long. Dude! I just wanted to play a simple video game, not read the library or congress and sign away my life. It’s even more ridiculous when you consider the fact that we’re paying these companies to steal all of our data from us.

          I know. I recently bought a new gaming console and damn, it’s a mess. I’m going to sell it because I just can’t accept what console gaming has become. I miss the NES.

      Cyberpunk was cool because it was about the invaded masses working against and loathing the dystopia that oppressed them. Sadly reality butted in, and we live in the same dystopia, but nobody fucking cares because it’s so easy to just not.

        It was also cool because the fashion kicked ass. Our fashion fucking blows. Our cyberpunk dystopian fashion is cheap fabrics and jeans so tight they look painted on? What happened to leather jackets with chains on them, and mohawks? Wheres my freaking bionic arm?

      If everything would be greener and open source. Following GDPR like proton.com, then this would be a cool cyberpunk world. But its mainly America and heavy capitalism that destroys our internet.
